  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I work in government IT and my job is the care and feeding of all end user devices. what your are proposing is neither simple nor realistic in any meaningful fashion. Do you have any idea the amount of computing power that would be required to perform this task? That does not even begin to touch on the complexity of the script coupled with the amount of data that would need to be collected and analyzed.

Please explain precisely how a person who believes it is acceptable for any country to use economic force to bully a free and sovereign nation into annexation is not, by dint of holding such a belief, a fundamentally bad person.

No evasion, please - just answer the question.

"DOGE" isn't auditing anything. None of DOGEy people on Musk's teams have any experience as auditors. They are just rooting around in databases looking for things that "look fishy" to them and deleting them.

It's your opinion and nothing more

The "Bully" is Canada's leftist liberal PM Trudeau and his party, pushing a sick leftist agenda to silence conservatives and their voice

Canada is dependant on the US economically and militarily and is basically a 51st State presently, the party is over on Apr 2, 2025 as the 25% tariff is imposed, American jobs will return from Canada, Donald J. Trump promises made promises kept

"MAGA, America First" I don't see the word Canada there do you?

Your "analysis" is some of the weakest I've seen on this site, and CF has a "creationist" section. Your claims are never backed by evidence and you often post "disagreements" with actual evidence when it is presented to you.

Judge rules Musk's DOGE operatives can access sensitive Treasury data, at least for now​

Fri, March 7, 2025

Elon Musk Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images


A federal judge declined to block DOGE from accessing swaths of Treasury Department data on Friday morning, denying plaintiffs an injunction.

Billionaire Elon Musk's austerity operation will once again have access to some of the nation’s most sensitive personal data on federal paychecks, Social Security, and tax refunds, along with other payments.

In the Friday morning opinion, D.C. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly overturned her February 6 temporary order limiting access to the system. That order allowed only existing Treasury employees, plus Department of Government Efficiency staffers Tom Krause and Marko Elez, to access Treasury data.

That doesn't make them auditors. I just means that they can now feed YOUR financial data (provided to the IRS, in particular) into their AI tools. Have fun with your privacy.

The doge audit is not doing what you claimed. There is no ongoing auditing of users time.

It's "my opinion and nothing more" that using economic bully to annex a nation against it's will?

Well, then, is it "an opinion and nothing more" that Hitler was being a bully when he invaded Poland?
The "Bully" is Canada's leftist liberal PM Trudeau and his party, pushing a sick leftist agenda to silence conservatives and their voice
Vague and insubstantive - what, exactly, is Mr. Trudeau doing that is unethical?

And this is more diversion from Trump supporters who have no argument: you cannot deny the facts - Trump is a bully - so you pull the "whataboutism" card.

You would need to make a case that what Canada is doing to the US justifies the attempt to annex Canada against its will.

Good luck.

Canada is dependant on the US economically and militarily and is basically a 51st State presently,
Nonsense, of course. The fact that we depend on the US does not make us a state.

But, if you are right - if we are already a state - why bother trying to annex us?
the party is over on Apr 2, 2025 as the 25% tariff is imposed, American jobs will return from Canada, Donald J. Trump promises made promises kept

"MAGA, America First" I don't see the word Canada there do you?
And, of course, you have evaded my question which is this: how can a person who supports the annexation of a free and sovereign nation against its will not be a bad person?

Please actually answer the question.

Neither, it seems, do they.

How much rocket science experience did Musk's SpaceX team have when they went way beyond NASA's accomplishments?

As we discuss certain issues, it is easy to forget the big picture. And part of the big picture is that Trump lies.

For example, Donald Trump has repeatedly lied to the effect that US banks are not allowed to do business in Canada.

I asked that you Trump supporters sit back, take a deep breath, and ponder this.

Your man, the man you put your faith in, the man you think is going to make America great again lies over and over again about important things..

I am genuinely curious, how do you square this with your support for him, especially those who are Christians?

The DOGE claims of $Billions$ being spent by the Biden administration on boondoggles is just make believe, smiles!

The 72% approval rating of DOGE is pretend

Can't wait until the actual beneficiaries are exposed on the boondoggle fraud

Well President Trump has stated a 25% tariff on imported goods from Canada will begin on Apr 2, 2025 we will see in about 3 weeks if he's a liar?

Trump MAGA, America First!
